Member for The Entrance David Mehan has urged Central Coast residents to show their support for Lisarow-based factory Sara Lee by purchasing one of their desserts.
The company has gone into voluntary administration with a voluntary administrator appointed on October 17.
“Australians will be disappointed to hear that beloved dessert brand Sara Lee has gone into voluntary administration,” Mehan said.
The business, established on the Central Coast at Lisarow in 1971, has been a household staple for many and was best known for their iconic cheesecakes, pies, crumbles and ice-creams.
The company still employs about 200 staff at its bakehouse in Lisarow, where desserts are baked fresh every day and the company prides itself on promoting quality, authentic ingredients.
“I have reached out to the union and company to offer any assistance to ensure Sara Lee Bakehouse remains on the Central Coast,” Mehan said.
“Sara Lee has been a Central Coast institution providing good local paying jobs since 1971.
“I know all members of our community will be concerned at this news today and encourage you all to pop out to your local supermarket, support Sara Lee and grab a dessert for after dinner tonight.”
FTI Consulting has been appointed to either sell or restructure the business.
